Chords with lyrics
Capo 5
C majorC FF - C majorC
Pretty, pretty wilted daisies all in a row
C majorC G+G C majorC
on the top of Mount Vernon in the dirty snow
C majorC FF C majorC
where the shadow sings of sunshine like a dying crow
C majorC G+G C majorC
pretty, pretty wilted dasies all in a row
C majorC FF - C majorC
You're waving high into the night time of a New York street
C majorC G+G C majorC
Your newly painted yellow taxi has dirty seats
C majorC FF C majorC
You're racing quick into the nightclub, so that you can see
C majorC G+G C majorC
The same old sick and sadly strangers always seem to meet
FF G+G A minorAm
Cuz it's a long way to and a short ride from the top
FF G+G A minorAm
it's a rotten middle finger and the cancer will not stop
FF G+G A minorAm
it's a long way to and a short ride from the top
FF G+G
your hand begins to slip or they cut
C majorC FF - C majorC
either way you drop
C majorC FF - C majorC
Your small apartment is a mess but you don't seem to care
C majorC G+G C majorC
the dirty dishes in the corner go with the broken chair
C majorC FF C majorC
Higher grows the stack of bills that calmly declare
C majorC G+G C majorC
if you don't pay within a week then your shit is theirs
C majorC FF - C majorC
You go to work Monday through Sunday, open to close
C majorC G+G C majorC
the seven dollars that they pay, son, is good as a broken nose
C majorC FF C majorC
when no one's watchin' you pull your pants down and touch your toes
C majorC G+G C majorC
your undercut n' your exploited but that's how the country grows
FF G+G A minorAm
Cuz it's a long way to and a short ride to the top
FF G+G A minorAm
it's a rotten middle finger and the cancer will not stop
FF G+G A minorAm
it's a long way to and a short ride from the top
FF G+G
your hand begins to slip or cut
A minorAm
either way you take what they have stolen
FF
or you try to break what can't be broken
C majorC
you can speak what you believe
G+G
but every thought comes preconceived
A minorAm
you try to wash your hands of this
FF
clear your conscience and dismiss
C majorC
pretend our problems don't exist
G+G
we're takin' aspirin for a broken wrist
FF G+G A minorAm
cuz it's a long, long way to the top
FF G+G A minorAm
it's a rotten middle finger but the cancer will not stop
FF G+G A minorAm
it's a long, long way to the top
FF G+G
your hand begins to slip or cut
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
either way we
outro A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
I look forward to the feedback!
